At Azure, we've recently reacquired our old domain at www.pokeleagues.org, and we want to get a fangame development hub going, with dedicated forums for projects and the opportunity to collaborate with other fangame designers.  In the future, we also plan to host essential features for development like file hosting and bug tracking.

Our forums are clean and have far fewer ads than most of the more well known services, and all the forums will be Pokémon or fangame related.  We like to consider it a halfway house between a thread on PokéCommunity and a forum on invisionfree or freeforums.  We can handle the management of the forum while you have a dedicated place to discuss your project.

If you're interested, do let us know!  We've only recently started up the new forum, and you can either contact us there ([link]) or send me a note here.  We hope to see you there!

I posted a while ago that we at Azure were looking for someone to texture our 3D models, and we're on the look out again as we head into the new year!

The game is being made to demonstrate our custom Pokémon engine, being made in C# and XNA, with a "2.5D" overworld, just like Black, White and their sequels.

We're looking for a talented tile artist to create nature tiles to sit underneath the models, and, if possible, to create sprited textures for some of the building models.

You don't need any 3D experience but you need to be willing to work with slightly larger tiles than the norm (24x instead of 16x) and preferably have some previous work with 2D tiles, although we are happy to use edited rips where necessary.

If you want to see a demonstration of the engine (and a few models) in action, check out the following video:

As you can see, we need someone to spruce up the textures, so if you're interested, please drop me a note or comment here, or add me on Skype (james.nicholls2).

Thanks for reading!
